I get stopped and asked by other aging boomers, "are those shoes comfortable?" I always answer, "YES!, they're not pretty but my feet and back are very happy travelers!"
I discovered MBT by accident. Went into a shoe store(popular with aging boomers like me) with aching feet after a long day at work, walking the concrete halls of the State Capitol. A nice lady was trying on the MBT Kaya -- a mary jane style shoe. The shoes looked clunky and heavy and bulky. But the rocker sole intrigued me. I asked her, "How do they feel?" She said, "I'm getting them." Ok, that did it, I tried on the same style and got them!
Have since gotten a new sandal style every summer, another mary jane style, and the athletic shoe (lace up) style. Since I am on my feet a lot at work and like to walk, these provide the best support and posture of any shoe I've worn. And I am a life long fan of Dansko Professional Clogs. Also wear those a lot. Some of the MBTs required orthotics for my feet, but this only made the fit and support superior!
These MBTs have logged many miles in the capitol, and on summer and fall vacations. I find I don't have to alternate shoes every other day, when sightseeing.
Try them, not pretty but your feet with thank you
